Module Definitions

This module uses two definitions that can be confusing, Round Set and Phases. The actual label for these functionalities differs between RPG systems but for the module functionality these are the definitions used. Round Set and Phases can be enabled at the same time.

Round Set

A Round Set is a set of Foundry rounds, meaning you can define phases, segments or whatever your system call them and have the combat tracker go from one round to another and start again with the first round.

Use the Round Set Editor found in the module´s Configure Game Settings to define custom rounds.

Phases

A Phase is a part of a Foundry round. This feature divides the Foundry round into phases which each has its own initiative order. Combatants is assigned to a phase. You can use any naming for phases, it could be like in the example below or just "Players", "Enemies", "Allies" etc.

A "Unset" phase is always added to the defined phases and will be the default phase a combatant is assigned to when added to an encounter.

Use the Phase Editor found in the module´s Configure Game Settings to define custom phases.
